what is the 5 differences between mass and weight and also explain what is gravitation and what are the laws of gravitation
Answers
Difference_
I. Mass is the quantity of matter contained in the body.
Weight is the force of gravity acting on the body.
II. It is the measure of inertia of the body.
It is the measure of gravity.
III. Mass is a constant quantity.
Weight is not a constant quantity.
It is different at different places.
IV. It only has magnitude.
It has magnitude as well as direction.
V. Its SI unit is kilogram (kg).
Its SI unit is the same as the SI unit of force, i.e., Newton (N).
hey
mass
amount of substance present in an object
its SI unit is kg
it can never be zero
mass is always same
Weight
the force by which object is attracted towards earth
SI unit is newton
it can be zero at the centre of the earth
it is not same everywhere
Gravitation
the force of attraction between two bodies it is known as gravitational force
Laws of gravitation
every objects in the universe attracts some other objects with some force which is inversly proportional to sqaure of distance between them and their mass is directly proportional
more the mass between two bodies mote the gravitational force has magnitude
more the distance less the gravitational force
